2016 Winner and Finalists

Express Future Leaders 2016 001web

Kitty, Dara, Lauren, Tracy and Alison

Launched in 2010, the Women in the City Future Leaders Award recognises the achievements to date and the leadership potential of fast-track women in the early stages of their career.

After a year of record numbers of nominations and applications this year’s Future Leaders Award has introduced us to some very talented and inspiring women. The judging panels have had a difficult time making their selections and we decided to shortlist 12 candidates this year instead of the usual 10.  We had a long, but interesting day at ICAEW’s Chartered Accountant’s Hall where the interviews took place and our Main Judging Panel battled over deciding on the 5 finalists and the winner.  All the candidates impressed us and we are thrilled to have such an amazing collection of women in our shortlist.

Future Leaders Award Winner 2016

After some deliberation and discussion, the panel agreed that our 2016 Future Leader Award winner is Kitty McCormick, Director, Lending and Capital Management at Coutts

Kitty receives her award from Emma Codd

On receiving her trophy and personal development prize – a complimentary place on ICAEW’s Women in Leadership Programme – Kitty McCormick said;

It is an incredible honour to be selected as the winner of the Future Leaders Award.  I am passionate about paying forward the support and wisdom I have benefitted from and relish the chance to do so alongside Women in the City.  I am hugely excited about this opportunity, as a female role model, to demonstrate that it is the things and experiences which make us who we are, that enable us to be successful.

The Future Leaders Award formally recognises women who demonstrate leadership qualities and is an important part of the process of raising the profile of women who are making a contribution beyond their functional, technical or specialist area.  Kitty McCormick was selected from a shortlist of twelve outstanding candidates, and the Award Ceremony followed an evening Symposium on the theme of The Resilient Leader.

Gwen Rhys, CEO of Networking Culture Ltd and founder of Women in the City, added;

We’ve had a record number of nominations and applications this year, with applications rising by 45% since 2015.  The impact of this, plus the high calibre of candidates, has resulted in an intense judging process with a shortlist of 12 going through to the final round of judging. Each year our winner is someone who stands out from the crowd.  Kitty is no exception. She was a polished, professional and well prepared candidate from application form to final interview.

 

 We’d like to say a huge congratulations to Kitty from all at Women in the City.
